Some Saturday Silly Sassiness

As my sixth batch of wash is drying.  For the record the other five have been folded and put away.  I am going to write.  Because Lee is preparing for his talk tomorrow and if I turned on the TV I would probably distract him. 

Today we stayed home all day.  Well me and the kids did.  Lee went to our neighbor's house to help with building a box, two boxes actually.  He is hoping to get some money out of the help but I don't think it will be much. 

Spring cleaning is still very much in full swing. We are cleaning out closets and I need to go through the toy box as well.    Victoria informed me today that she doesn't have any t-shirts thanks to growing and cleaning out her dresser..  So next week I think I am going to have to do some shopping for summer clothes.  With going to the beach this year we want all the kids to have two swimming suits and at this point they each have one.  Last year we wait too long to buy a swimming suit for Victoria and I struggled to find an appropriate one.  Part of the issue is that Lee and I disagree on what is appropriate and what isn't.  He is far more conservative then I am. So even though it is only March I want to get the swimming suits soon. 

This week on my list of things to do is to get some stuff on Craiglist.  I have never posted before so this will be a first time.  We are also going to give some stuff to a friend to sell.  He is a stay at home dad and has way more time then we do to deal with stuff like that.

Sometimes the things which should be so simpler really aren't.  We are planning a trip in May to see some family.  But it seems like every I turn around there is some conflict.  The weekend we were going to go up is dance pictures. Pinewood derby and Soccer Cup  Now that we have picked the dates then a family member told me that those dates "that seems odd".  Plus at this rate it may just be me and the kids because if Lee doesn't work he doesn't get paid.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...
